Fedor finishes Rizzo in first and announces retirement (Full Video)

It looks like “The Last Emperor” will walk off into the sunset with a three fight winsteak. It was a swift first round finish of Pedro Rizzo at M-1 Global’s: Fedor vs. Rizzo, which led to the announcement of Emelianenko’s (34-4-1) retirement.

Here’s the translation of Fedor’s retirement via Lowkick.com:

“I think it’s time. I’m retiring from sports. I still have the SAMBO World Championships. My family is the reason I will not be fighting again. My daughters are growing without their father, so it’s the right time to leave…There’s no ‘fantastic’ offer that could tempt me out of retirement. I’m retiring to spend more time with my family”

From the sounds of it, even the opportunity of fighting in the UFC for the first time could not bring back the former pound-for-pound greatest.

Only if he gets to fight old guys, He was the Emperor King in his day, Pedro Rizzo needs to retire also, like Rampage, Coleman, Couture, The Iceman, Bas Rutten, Dan Severn, Ken Shamrock and the list goes on for those past their prime, He belongs in that impressive list!

Whether or not you consider Fedor the greatest, or even 1 of the best is irrelevant. Jesus Christ stop arguing about it like retarded children & give the man some respect. He won 30 something fights in a row w/out a legit loss; some of those were against shitty fighters, & some of them were against all time greats, & champions. The fact is he had a great run, & accomplished something amazing, which is more then you assholes bashing him can say for yourselves. Now get back to masturbating & shut the f#ck up you tools.

You people get to hung up on losses. He would be very competitive. Ufc hvyweight division is weak. 1.Jds 2.Cain 3.Werdum 4.Overeem 5.Carwin 6.Mir 7.Bigfoot 8.Fedor 9.big country 10.Hunt Thats my top ten. What’s yours?
